The IRS documents released by the government watchdog group on April 9 revealed that the senator, along with Senator Carl Levin, pressured the agency to go after political nonprofits which turned out to be overwhelmingly conservative non-profits..
A May 1, 2013, email exchange between Lois Lerner and other top IRS staffers revealed that 11 days prior to Lerners admission in a ABA meeting that the IRS had inappropriately targeted conservative groups, she met with select top staffers from the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee in a marathon meeting to discuss concerns raised by both Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) that the IRS was not reining in political advocacy groups in response to the Supreme Courts Citizens United decision. Senator McCain had been the chief sponsor of the McCain-Feingold Act and called the Citizens United decision, which overturned portions of the Act, one of the worst decisions I have ever seen. Among those attending the meeting were key aides to the committee minority ranking member, John McCain.

Democrats in R jerseys really hate it when they are exposed as Democrats in R jerseys.
John McCain needs to go, he should not have been reelected in 2010.
What the heck is wrong with AZ that they would reelect McCain and then elect another cheap labor importer in Jeff Flake?
I really dislike McCain.
Levin and McCain and the rest of the D.C. fossils. They’ve done so much damage to our country. Turnover rates in Congress during the 19th century averaged 40-50%. In the years after ratification of the 17th amendment in 1913, turnover in Congress declined. Averages 5-10% now.
McCain not only directed the IRS to attack
conservatives, but also helped creaTE ISIS.
The Arizona “Republicans” are responsible
for slavery, rape, crucifixion, and beheadings
worldwide through their Bastard Senator.
Using the tools of government to reduce political opponents is a deadly serious crime, and it’s no joke. Not speaking of the bully pulpit, I mean direct use of law enforcement, tax agencies, intelligence apparatus, etc.
Philosophically, it even legitimizes violence by removing the oppositions ability to legitimately participate.
This is a horrendous crime. McCain is a full on traitor.
Arizona, for the love of God and Country, send this POS to a nursing home.
I don’t know why, but I am finding this quite humorous.
Who are you gonna believe? The Arizona scum ... or your own eyes?
I am grateful for John McCain’s service to his country-—PRIOR TO ENTERING POLITICS. Pretty much lousy senator. Horrible presidential candidate. Retire, John.
Would someone give Johnny-boy his meds and get him back into his room for a nap.
McCain pushed CFR as penance for his Keating Five membership. It did not make him clean.
It’s an incumbent protection racket and Sen. McCain’s last term.
Sin always has far reaching consequences.
Like a woman who had an abortion as a girl and spends her life justifying it by promoting abortions for others.
They should have all gone to jail, but laws are for the little people and McCain’s a useful tool.
You’ll never see him hung as the traitor he is. Did the Vietnamese weaponize McCain against the US Constitution?
They work for DC, not us.
Listen you TEA Party Scum, I arrested, prosecuted and judged myself innocent! ON ALL COUNTS! - Sen. McCain.
Perfect! This just shows how when you give government the opportunity to regulate political speech, the process WILL be corrupted. Isn’t this the perfect case in point?
But I get a little happy feeling just dreaming about it!
